Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Instant Crush Eau de Parfum

A divisive beast mode scent that splits opinion down the middle. Some hail it as a superior BR540, a sweet, warm, and highly addictive sillage monster. Others find it an overpoweringly synthetic mess, headache-inducing, and lacking any nuance.

Our Verdict - Purple Flowers Eau de Parfum

This polarizing Mancera scent is a bold, long-lasting declaration. Some find it a 'rose-patchouli atomic bomb' or a 'thick and awful' granny smell, while others adore its 'slinky, secretive' charm and 'fabulous' performance. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Instant Crush is a sillage beast with tenacious longevity, making it unsuitable for office wear where it could be overwhelming. Its seductive warmth and sweetness are perfect for dates and evening events, while its powerful presence could be toned down for cooler casual outings.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, often described as a 'nuclear beast', make it less suitable for office wear where discretion is key. The intense rose and woody-spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though it's still wearable casually by those who prefer a statement scent.
